Pink Day in La 2011

Hello Everyone!

Its time to get excited about Pink and finding a cure for Cancer! While we are specifically keeping Breast Cancer Research in mind, October is Cancer Awareness Month! With that, we have some exciting plans for Pink Day in La this year!

First off! Click the logo above to check out our official website at:http://pinkday.gw-en.com/

Now, let's talk about INGAME!

If you want to join our crazy crew of volunteers, please head to the volunteer thread on this forum for more information! Our next meeting in September 24th!

The districts are hosted as follows, but might change as the date gets closer! (and as we add more districts!)

**The first 6 districts are GWEN Staff supported and friends of the crew, however this does not mean that we will be the only groups with tons of giveaways!

-Rhonda Head aka M A L I B U Barbie

I read the in-game prize list and was all "wow" and giggled at the unID-ed pink weapons. Then I saw the following bolded list and almost had a voluntary bio break. Madness!

I almost can't believe how excited I am looking forward to this party in front of my computer. Hah.

I second THE Madness
I'll be there!

Is this with or without that one awesome and handsome fellow who runs a Master of Magic build?

I made my donation. (Houndred bucks)
I hope for a cure for cancer /not that "T" kind what makes zombies/, and for a good prize for me

its always a pleasure to help out those who are helping others deal with cancer (yep another donation from the rat )....

I know its to help breast cancer but post cards seem kind of cheap...

Seriously who uses those things anymore.

Nobody......but postcard collecting as a hobby is big business.

The last person I saw using them was my defunct grandmother.

And that was before she got senile.

I wish there was some kind way to trade or choose prices. I don't need anything from there.
I'd rather have them doing something to bring more new players to the game, or helping newbies, than giving me stuff.
In the game I'm like an old man that has done everything and is just waiting to die now, while giving a piece of advice to any willing kid that wants to listen. XD

But me doesn't needing any of the prices doesn't mean I won't participate. My sister had breast cancer, after all.

tnx for the move, guess the info in this post is now redundant ^^ ... lets replace it with something like, ehrm... this:

cant wait!! last year was a real success!! ^.^

i know this sounds silly but i thought i ask it anyway. so it means the pink dyes are coming back? >> getting low and want to buy more xD

@AngelWJedi, Rosa Lavita (the trader) is controlled by ArenaNet and thus not something we can switch on. We are fairly sure she will appear, but we can't give any guraantee

By the power of greyskull! I'm curious to see how much we'll donate this year

There are minimal prizes that are actually in-game. If you by chance win one of the runs armors etc you could always use it to help out one of the new comers. As we cannot really code anything special ourselves to bring in new waves of players to a 6 year old game we offer prizes to them on a daily basis on the streams at gw-en.com as well as bigger prizes during our major events such as Pink Day in LA.

Our hosts, as well as many others who donate have done much in the game as well and wish to help others out so they can be found farming, running, doing dungeons with newer players to help support and build the community often times with tons of rewards.

------------

The post cards/shirts/bandana's/etc alot of them are collectible items, with signatures from devs, fans, other people you may have came across their name a time or two. Lots of people do enjoy collecting various things to help spruce up their home, office, and in some cases basements and attics.

Also this isn't the full prize list. More will be added as the day approaches so everyone can keep that in mind as well.

im so excited for this and my donation has been made as well. YaWn is still finializing our prizes but we hope to throw in a few extra goodies.

Cant wait! You're gonna see one happy pink warrior for sure

Hey Hey everyone!

I have updated the prize list and the district details. There will be more updates coming on October 5th.

We are currently looking for a French Player to help with translation to support a French Quiz District. If you are interested, please message me at [email protected]

Thanks!

Want an opportunity to honour someone who was lost to Cancer or someone who is battling with Cancer right now?

Record a WAV. File or MP3 outlining the person you wish to support in 30 seconds or less and we will be playing them on-air the weekend of Pink Day in La in Honour of those with or lost to Cancer.

You can send the memorials and dedications to [email protected] with "Dedication Recording" in the subject.

Thank you
Rhonda

You know, it almost baffles me.

Guild Wars probably has THE BEST community I've seen in any game by far. What a great event and what a great cause to support!

I've spread the news of this event to my friends.

Me, my husband and some of my guild mates have donated.

looking forward to it cant wait

At what times are the districts being hosted?

Edit: Silly me, it's in the banner - noon to 6 pm central daylight time.

I just got a pink dye drop is this normal?

I think it's a great idea, and I was a bit sad when last year the pink dye seller dissapeared, she should stick around all year round!

I also had a pink dye drop, and it's different from the ones at the seller, so it can't stack with them.

On another note (and let's see if I can kill two birds with one stone): Movember
http://www.movember.com/
There's a lack of beards and staches in GW. Next month we could support the cause by using awesome 'mo's. It's still against cancer (prostate and testicular cancer)

I love that event since I started playing.

This year I worked on a little video explaining, why actually everyone is helping in this event.
